##
Max and Min

### Library

Non_linear

### Description

The MinMax block outputs either the minimum or the maximum element or elements of the inputs. You can choose the function to apply by selecting one of the choices from the Function parameter list.

### Dialog Box

Set Max/Min block parameters |
Min (1) or Max (2) | 2
Number of input vectors (1 or 2) | 1
zero-crossing (1: yes, 0;no) | 1

- Min : The function (min or max) to apply to the input.
- Number of input vectors :The number of inputs to the block.
- zero-crossing : Select to enable zero crossing detection to detect minimum and maximum values.

### Default properties

- always active: no
- direct-feedthrough: yes
- zero-crossing: yes
- mode: yes
- number/sizes of inputs: 1 / -1
- number/sizes of outputs: 1 / 1
- number/sizes of activation inputs: 0 /
- number/sizes of activation outputs: 0 /
- continuous-time state: no
- discrete-time state: no
- name of computational function: minmax
